Pumpkin Spice Smoothies Return to Smoothie King® Menu

NEW ORLEANS, (August 12, 2015) -- Smoothie King Franchises, Inc., the leading smoothie franchise company with more than 720 stores worldwide, is bringing a popular seasonal favorite back to the menu at the end of this month. Pumpkin Spice Smoothies, made with Frozen Yogurt or Greek Yogurt, will be available for a limited time from August 31 to December 31.

“As we transition into the Fall season, you can’t help but want to try all of the seasonal pumpkin items we see on menus across the country,” said Brooke Alpert, Smoothie King’s nutritional consultant. “However, they are not always the healthiest items, which is why Smoothie King’s Pumpkin Spice Smoothie is such a great option. When made with Greek Yogurt, a 20 ounce smoothie has 15 grams of protein, 300 calories, and 4 grams of fiber. If you are going to seek out a seasonal indulgence this year, Smoothie King’s Pumpkin Spice Smoothie is a wonderful, guilt-free option!”
